Chapter 1036 Dinner Party
It has been a full week since the outbreak of the Xishui Street case, but the strong wind that swept through Lingang is blowing stronger and stronger, and there is no sign of ending there.
In just a few days, Baling Mountain Seaview Villa has been attacked a total of three times. The strength of the attackers became stronger and more ferocious each time, and in the last attack, they even blew up a room in the west corner of the villa.
But even so, they were unable to achieve the slightest victory. Moreover, as Xie Hongbo led people to officially enter the Baling Mountain Seaview Villa in the name of the Lingang Inspectorate to guard, the other party seemed to know that continuing would only increase casualties, so he decisively terminated the operation.
During this time, the biggest disagreement between Li Qing and Zhou Wenhao was Ma Lijun. Zhou Wenhao hoped that Li Qing would take a step back and hand over Ma Lijun, an important hostage, to the Inspectorate. Li Qing categorically rejected his suggestion, allowing only the Inspectorate to provide additional protection, and prohibiting the slightest contact between them and Ma Lijun.
After repeated hype, the Lingang media has gradually advanced from the initial curiosity to something deeper. The people of Gangbei gradually showed their dissatisfaction with the Shijia Gate Valve overstepping the regulations, and even a certain degree of resistance among the people.
During this period, Li Qing was afraid that he was the most unpopular person in the entire Lingang family. But his high-ranking status made most people only dare to complain a few words behind his back, but they didn't have the courage to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
At 6:40 p.m. on Wednesday, an extended commercial vehicle cut through the night of Lingang and drove slowly on the bustling highway to Gangbei International Shengjing Hotel.
Li Qing, who was dressed in a tuxedo dress, crossed Erlang's legs, lowered his head and stared at a newspaper in his hand, and a smile slowly spread on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly feeling a pain in his thigh, Li Qing screamed, turned his head and stared at Lin Qiuqiu with round eyes: "What are you pinching me for?"
"Nonsense, who pinched you?" Lin Qiuqiu rolled his eyes, turned his little head and stared at the colorful neon lights outside the car window, and his eyes were shining with stars.
Li Qing pouted: "If you are not satisfied, you can say it, what is it to do it in secret, it is really not enough to be a big man." β
Then please turn your head and listen to the little woman. Lin Qiuqiuyu held her chin with her hand and blinked her beautiful eyes charmingly, "Are you sure these newspapers are really better than me?"
"Uh..." Li Qing was slightly stunned, his upper body leaned back slightly, and he looked at Lin Qiuqiu carefully.
Tonight, Lin Qiuqiu wore a crimson Chinese embroidered evening dress, and the butterflies on the skirt danced around the flowers, which was lifelike, making his bumpy and excellent figure undoubtedly show off and charming. Under the delicate jade ears is a string of tassel earrings, which complement each other with the lustrous pearl necklace under the slender neck, adding a bit of oriental beauty to her.
Li Qing's eyes couldn't help but be a little dull, and he replied dumbfounded: "You look good, of course you are better than the newspaper." β
"Why didn't I find out. Lin Qiuqiu pouted and snatched the newspaper from Li Qing's hand, "What are you reading?"
Li Qing stared at Lin Qiuqiu's pink little face, and said casually: "A commentary on current affairs by Yang Xixi. β
"It's this Yang regret again. Lin Qiuqiu withdrew his gaze from the newspaper and glanced at Li Qing lightly, "You were very disgusted with her at first, but you have been full of praise for her recently." β
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Li Qing stretched out her hand to hug Lin Qiuqiu's slender willow waist and said cautiously, "This female reporter dares to speak, and her sentences go deep into the bone marrow, so naturally I pay more attention to her." β
Lin Qiuqiu nodded lightly and spread the newspaper on the **: "Indeed, with the situation in Lingang, there are not many people who dare to write an article generously to offend the Qi family, you better take care of her." β
"I've taken good care of her. Li Qing smiled bitterly and patted the newspaper on Lin Qiuqiu's leg, "Take this article as an example, if I hadn't asked Fang Yong to say hello to the newspaper, how would they dare to send it out." Recently, Lingang has been in this situation, with several media in our hands, and several others being restrained by the Qi family, scolding each other, and making a farce alive. β
"But judging from the current situation, we still have the absolute upper hand, who made his Qi family's buttocks not clean, and this is not to blame others. β
Lin Qiuqiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "When do you think this situation will end?"
"It's over?" Li Qing exhaled softly, "It's up to Ma Lijun." β
Lin Qiuqiu bit her red lip lightly, and said softly: "If she really loves Qi Kuan deeply, she will never hand over the evidence to you." In the end, you'll just be empty. β
Li Qing's hand pointed to Lin Qiuqiu's ** like playing the piano, and tapped on Lin Qiuqiu's **: "You understand women, but I know human nature better." If Ma Lijun really didn't plan to put things in my hands, she wouldn't have let herself live until now. In my opinion, she was just hesitating. β
"It's a nuisance of humanity. Lin Qiuqiu frowned slightly, "Li Qing, do you think if I were Ma Lijun..."
Li Qing's body shrugged suddenly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to support Lin Qiuqiu's cheek, staring at her bright eyes without blinking: "Qiuqiu, if there is such a day, you must remember my words today." β
"What?"
"As long as you're good, I don't care. β
Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and the corners of her lips suddenly flashed with a soft smile: "We are different from them." β
"yes, we're just different. Li Qing grabbed Lin Qiuqiu's soft jade hand, and a relieved smile appeared on her cheeks. The two looked at each other, as if they had seen a vast ocean under each other's eyes.
The car stopped outside the Shengjing Hotel, Li Qing pulled Lin Qiuqiu's hand and got out of the car, stepped on the red carpet, and walked hand in hand towards the banquet hall amid the flattery of countless people.
"Have you noticed the gazes of those men?" Li Qing scratched his little finger at Lin Qiuqiu's palm and said in a low voice.
"Do you still have the time to take care of this?"
"They are staring at my wife, shouldn't they care?"
Lin Qiuqiu smiled politely at the camera, and then pursed her lips slightly: "Are you happy if I dress up as a yellow-faced woman?"
"Of course not, my wife is beautiful, and I have a face, right, but..."
"Okay, okay, what are you thinking about. Lin Qiuqiu glanced at Li Qing, "You remember for me, the charity auction at tonight's banquet must be made to make an appearance." β
Li Qing leaned towards Lin Qiuqiu, looking puzzled: "What do you mean by making a appearance?"
While speaking, the two had already walked into the banquet hall, and after greeting people from all walks of life who came up, Lin Qiuqiu dragged Li Qing to his side and took him to hide behind the champagne tower.
"Listen to me, after you tossed around Xishui Street, the outside world's dissatisfaction with the Lingang family is increasing day by day, and your Xie Qi and Li families are the first to bear the brunt. Lin Qiuqiu swept around vigilantly, "So this charity auction is a great opportunity for you to show off." β
The corners of Li Qing's mouth tugged slightly: "There is still such a thing, I always feel a little despicable." β
"People will only see what you do and don't care what you think. Lin Qiuqiu picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile, "Master Li, don't you understand human nature very well?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll give you money tonight." β
"Master Li, Miss Lin. β
With a crisp voice in his ears, Li Qing turned his head sharply, and saw Xue Yuexin, who was wearing a colorful dress, standing opposite the champagne tower, staring at himself and Lin Qiuqiu with a smile.
"What are you talking about? I've called you several times, completely ignoring people. β
Lin Qiuqiu smiled politely: "I'm really sorry, I talked to him too carefully and didn't notice it at all." β
Xue Yuexin smiled, looking very interested: "Oh, I don't know what interesting topics are." β
"Both of us are interested in tonight's charity auction. Lin Qiuqiu said, "Does Miss Xue mind chatting together?"
"Well, I'm quite interested, too. Xue Yuexin walked around from behind the champagne tower and spat at the two people, "By the way, tonight's charity auction has a highlight, but for the time being, it will be sold first." β
Xue Yuexin is worthy of being a social master, and in just a few words, she expressed all kinds of meanings heartily. Although she had only met Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu once at the airport, and it was definitely not a pleasant experience, the embarrassment had been resolved in this few words, and the distance between them had been quietly narrowed.
The three of them stood together, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Lin Qiuqiu and Xue Yuexin are both smart people, and their words are polite and brisk, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Li Qing was surrounded by the two top beauties in the dinner, and she was even more envious of others.
"The auction is about to start in a while, so I'll go and meet Uncle Xie and the Qi family. Lin Qiuqiu looked for an opportunity, glanced at Li Qing, and then walked towards Xie Yunkang and Qi Yiping, who were pot-bellied not far away.
Li Qing couldn't wait to tie Lin Qiuqiu to his side, so he immediately grabbed Lin Qiuqiu's jade wrist and wanted to leave together: "I'll accompany you." β
"I'll just go by myself. Lin Qiuqiu turned his head and smiled at Li Qing, "You accompany Miss Xue." β
Li Qing immediately understood, let go of his hand with some embarrassment, and let Lin Qiuqiu leave.
Xue Yuexin's delicate cheeks flashed a hint of coldness the moment Li Qing turned around, but immediately after, a polite and kind smile resurfaced.
Glancing in the direction of Lin Qiuqiu's departure, Li Qing turned his head to look at Xue Yuexin, and drained the remaining half glass of champagne in one gulp. At this moment, Li Qing suddenly found that he still didn't seem to understand the way of human relations, and he was as naΓ―ve as a child.
